Unearthed Films Has A Newly-Minted 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack Edition Of Filmmakers Screaming Mad George And Steven Wang's The Guyver Ready For Fans To Enjoy On May 21

Unearthed Films, with sales and distribution support provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has a new 4K restoration (from the 35mm camera negative) of Japanese filmmaker “Screaming Mad George” (aka: Joni Tani) and Steven Wang’s 1991 adaptation of Yoshiki Takaya’s manga series, The Guyver, targeted for release as a 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack “Limited Edition” on May 21.

This is the R-rated (unaltered) version of the film, which was cut for the domestic theatrical run back in the spring of 1991.

Part super-hero movie, part sci-fi thriller and part “Kaiju” battle royal, The Guyver has a college kid by the name of Sean (played by Jack Armstrong — Student Bodies) being transformed into “Guyver” — a mutant with incredible fighting powers — when he finds a device that was stolen from Chronos.

When thugs dispatched by Chronos — Zoanoids — first attempt to recover the gizmo goes south (kidnapping Sean’s “girlfriend,” Mizuki, and seemingly killing Sean), Chronos turns to grotesque Kaiju to battle a resurrected “Guyver.”   

If this sounds like an “Ultraman” adventure, you wouldn’t be far off the mark … and the ending leaves open a chance for more “Guyver” super-hero tales.   The Guyver turned out to be both fun and goofy (in a good way) … attracting a genre fan following over the years.   

This new 4K presentation will be a must-have on May 21 (move quickly, only 5,000 units are being manufactured).

As to bonus goodies, there is a brand new commentary featuring the filmmaking team of Screaming Mad George and Steve Wang, which is moderated by author Dom O’Brian (“Budget Biomorphs: The Making of The Guyver Films”).

The companion Blu-ray disc contains a video session with Screaming Mad George, the featurette titled “Suit Test” (with commentary by George and Wang), outtakes and a gag reel.

An additional bonus is a companion CD soundtrack.
